Miller’s book (A Million Miles) is one of those that carries story within [...]

Another Great Loss in America – and a Gain for Heaven

The homegoing of Paul Harvey was a sad loss for me personally. This was a truly great commentator. Yes he was conservative for sure, yet Harvey knew how to touch the heart of America with his down home wit and wisdom.
My favorite type of Paul Harvey material came from his patented "The Rest of [...]

A Word to Mark Gaither

I don't know if this is "Blog Kosher" or not but here goes:
Mark Gaither wrote a book I spoke of in this blog last summer – Redemptive Divorce. (See July 17 post.) Good book for thought to say the least, about a creative and God-honoring approach to the ending of a marriage. He actually [...]

For us football fans, he takes us behind the gridiron scenes of high school, college [...]

The Last of the Left Behind Books

I mentioned to Selma recently that finishing a book can be a depressing experience. She says the best thing she does is begin another book. (That’s probably why you see several books listed in the column to the left- and why many have been there for a while – it takes longer to complete them [...]

Media Review

If you have looked at my "About" page below my pic, you will notice that my tastes in entertainment (music, movies, etc.) is everywhere.  That is something that I love about me – the diversity. Playing the piano is the same. I can play something from Billy Joel and then Le0n Russell’s This Song for [...]
